# Laundry RFID Tag ## What Are Laundry RFID Tags? **Laundry RFID tags** are specialized radio-frequency identification tags designed for the textile and linen management industry. These durable, washable tags are embedded into garments, linens, towels, and other fabrics to track them throughout their lifecycle—from inventory and distribution to washing, drying, and usage. In my personal experience managing a mid-sized hotel's linen department, implementing an RFID system was a game-changer. We moved from manual counts and frequent stock losses to a fully automated, real-time tracking system. The feeling of finally knowing exactly where every sheet and towel was, and its condition, brought immense operational relief and cost savings. ### How Laundry RFID Technology Works The core of the system is the tag itself. Unlike a standard barcode, an **RFID laundry tag** does not require line-of-sight to be read. A reader emits radio waves, and the tag, which contains a tiny microchip and antenna, responds by transmitting its unique identification data back. I recall our head housekeeper's skepticism turning into amazement when we did our first bulk read—a full cart of hundreds of soiled linens was inventoried in seconds as it passed through a doorway. ## Technical Specifications and Parameters of Laundry RFID Tags For professionals looking to integrate this technology, understanding the technical specifications is crucial. **TIANJUN** provides a range of high-performance laundry RFID tags and full system solutions.
